Powerapps Onboarding Tasks HELP

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hello,

 

I am having issues with creating my own onboarding app. I have figured out everything else apart from the onboarding tasks.

 

How do I get rid of and delete the tasks in the red box (these are the standard ones which come with the template). I have added other tasks but when my co-workers use the app they can only see the tasks in the red box- the ones that are not applicable and the ones I want to delete indefinitely so they no longer appear on the app.

I understand they derive from a gallery but is there a way of editing the gallery or creating a new one with the onboarding tasks I want everyone to see once they access the app? I have tried to delete them from my outlook 'GetOnboardToDoList' but they just reappear!

Many thanks

    Hey, I am just a beginner in Power Apps, and they do not provide the updated Excel file. I was wondering if you could upload it so I could reference it.

     

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey, nope unfortunately not. I did find however that if you remove all the default tasks, replace them with your own, and then share the app with all users they will not have the default tasks in their to do list. No solution though for users that are already using the app.

    Hey - Did you ever find a fix for this issue? I am banging my head against the wall by trying to remove or edit those default tasks and I can't find it anywhere. Like you I want a new fresh set of tasks to be created which will be completed by all users

    Yes, I have deleted them from the task planner which I assume you mean the one in Outlook. However, they then reappear.

     

    When I am getting co-workers to access the app to test it, the ones I entered into the data sheet are not appearing either. May this be because it is on my personal onedrive?

    Hi @anniem27 ,

     

    After you removed them from the Excel file, did you also remove them from the task planner?

    Hi @BCBuizer ,

     

    This is what my data fields are looking like within the data excel;

     

     

    However, when going into the app, it is still showing up the original tasks despite having removed them from the Excel spreadsheet.

    Not sure where these would be pulling in from when evidently they've been removed. Should I remove the PowerApp Id's?

     

    Thank you for your fast response!

    Hi @anniem27 ,

     

    If you check the data sources for this app, you'll see it is connected to a table called Tasks, which is probably in an Excel file on OneDrive.

     

    When going to that Excel file, delete the relevant entries in the Tasks table:

    Of course here you can then add tasks you want each user to be assigned automatically when using the app as well.
